Company Expands Sales Effort to Promote Broad Applications for Its

"Commercial Off the Shelf" Products in Surveillance and Defense

DPAC Technologies Corp. (Nasdaq:DPAC), a provider of products and services for the Integration Age, announced today that it has expanded its capabilities and product offerings to the industrial, defense and aerospace industries. The Company recently shipped its first COTS (commercial off the shelf) memory products to a leading aerospace company, marking another milestone in industrial and military use of its patented LP-Stack product line.

DPAC also indicated that it has engaged additional sales representative firms to expand its customer base and product applications in the military-industrial complex. This move is in response to the increased demand for high technology electronics surveillance, guidance systems, information gathering and defense systems.

Kevin Perry, vice president of sales & marketing said, "Our ability to use readily available commercial grade components and package them as high density memory that meets the exacting specifications of this market should open additional markets and applications for DPAC. We recently appointed a leading sales representative firm to augment our direct sales efforts in securing additional business from industrial, defense and aerospace companies. The recent demand for increased homeland security and rise in military projects presents an opportunity to expand our products and services within this fast growing marketplace."

Ted Bruce, DPAC's president and CEO, commented, "DPAC was originally founded in the defense business. We have supplied products to the military and aerospace industries for over 20 years. While history is no guarantee of future success, we feel that the expansion of our capabilities in this area will generate additional opportunities. Our new stackable plastic configurations are of the highest quality, form and weight, many of which fit the needs and configuration for military and defense applications."
